Jax-The following are highlights of the past week's Navy News.
New Title For Radarmen
A change in title is in store for all Radarman.
Effective November 1, the Radarman (RD) rating will be changedto
Operations Specialist (OS).
The new name resulted from a recommendation made by the'
Radarman Retention Study Group. In its presentation to the CNO in
May, the study group stated that since the concept of the Combat
Information Center was established, Radarmen have had to be pro-
ficient at more duties than operating and monitoring radar receivers. _
. : ,It was felt that "Operation Specialist" was more descriptive of the

rating. _
The change will be in name only, and will have no effect on the
Radarman NEC's or the insignia.
